In New England (and likely elsewhere) you can see gravestones from the sixteen and seventeen hundreds that have two death dates on them, as different parts of the world converted to the Gregorian calendar at different times, and both Gregorian and Julian dates were in use in the area for a while (parts of Europe converted as early as the late 1500's).
